Kirstin Drabek is the mother of three children in the Saratoga Springs school
district. She has been concerned about the start time for secondary
schools for a number of years.

When the American Academy of Pediatrics released a study in late August
recommending a later start time for secondary schools, she turned her concern into action, starting the fifth local chapter in New York state and the 34th chapter of Start School Later.

The start of her oldest daughter's middle school career prompted her to
reach out to the Superintendent to discuss this issue. For some
students in our district, the morning starts with a bus pick-up at 6:45 a.m.. for an almost-one hour trip to school before the 7:41 a.m.. start time. This is too early!

Many parents over the years agree that a later
start time is a good idea for our district to consider. To join her in advocating for the health and safety of all Saratoga Springs students and beyond, use the contact form on this page to contact the chapter or join our Facebook group.
